Xbox users are reporting that the new quality mode in Fallout 4 isn’t working. For years, fans of the post-apocalyptic franchise have been waiting for Bethesda to release Fallout 4’s next-gen update for Xbox Series X/S and PS5. That day finally arrived on April 25, though not without a fair few issues.
The Fallout 4 next-gen update introduced three new quests that will net players some unique weapons, Halloween settlement decorations, an Enclave Colonel uniform, and Enclave-themed workshop items. Players can also grab a new weapon and armor bundle that includes two Power Armors, the Heavy Incinerator and Tesla Cannon, as well as some fun Enclave armor and weapon skins.
One of the most anticipated changes of the next-gen update was the addition of performance and quality modes to Fallout 4 on PS5 and Xbox Series X. Performance mode should let players enjoy the game with standard settings at a target 60 FPS in 4K resolution. Quality mode will also display in 4K resolution, but with ultra settings and 30 or 40 FPS depending on the display. However, Xbox players are reporting that quality mode seems to be bugged and isn’t functioning correctly.
In the Fallout 4 settings menu, players should be able to switch to quality mode simply by switching performance mode off. However, doing so currently makes no difference on Xbox, and the game remains in performance mode no matter which mode is selected. PS5 users have reported that quality mode noticeably improves the game’s graphics, providing Xbox gamers a reference for comparison.
PlayStation users haven’t gotten off without a hiccup or two when it comes to the RPG'snext-gen update, however. Those who obtained the game when it was offered as part of the PS Plus Collection can no longer play Fallout 4 on PS5. Though they still have the PS4 version in their libraries, they are prompted to purchase the game when trying to play. While this isn't intentional and Bethesda is actively working on a fix, it's not the first time PS Plus subscribers have had issues with an upgrade. In 2022, Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection was released, sporting upgraded PS5 versions of Uncharted 4 and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, and owners of the PS4 versions of the games could upgrade for $10. However, anybody who owned the games via their PS Plus subscriptions had to purchase the games again before they could upgrade.
And though the Fallout 4 next-gen update has fixed a number of longstanding bugs, it has also caused some unwelcome issues. Many Fallout 4 mods no longer work with the updated version of the game, including the Fallout 4 Script Extender that provides the backbone for many other mods to function. A similar problem occurred when the Skyrim Anniversary Edition launche
